MIGHEALTHNET - Information network on good practice in health care for migrants and minorities in Europe

You have reached the wiki (interactive data base) for the European Union and non-European countries. All material that is not related to a specific country within the project should also be placed here

This website is part of an EU Project that aims to give professionals, policy makers including health authorities, researchers, educators and representatives of migrant and minority groups easy access to a dynamically evolving body of knowledge and a virtual network of expertise. It will stimulate the formation of networks of individuals and organisations concerned with migrant and minority health. Read more

The site is still under construction and users are warmly invited to contribute to its development.

What is the purpose of this site?

This site has been set up to gather information about the health of migrants and ethnic minorities in the European Union and other countries. It forms part of the project MIGHEALTHNET, currently being carried out in 16 countries and co-funded by DG SANCO, the Health and Consumer Protection Directorate-General of the European Commission (website).
The site is intended as a resource for all researchers, professionals, policy makers and users concerned with the health of migrants and (ethnic) minorities. We invite you to add your contributions to it and to pass on the address of this site to others who may be interested.

What can be put on the site?

You can contribute articles, references (if possible with abstracts), bibliographies, links, names of organisations and journals, as well as any other information you feel is useful. There is also a page for discussions and a contact list for people and organisations interested in this subject (see topic 6).

What will the information be used for?

Information from the site will be used to make a ‘state of the art’ report during 2008. This report will be posted on the site and will be disseminated nationally.

If you would like your contribution to be acknowledged, please include your name and e-mail address when adding material to the site. If you have any comments or suggestions, please e-mail them to the wiki manager (see contact).
